Excel at whole school wellbeing

The purpose of Flourishing at School is to provide preventative mental health assistance to students and staff in schools. The goal is to keep individuals well, assist to optimise wellbeing, and increase the likelihood that individuals will seek professional assistance if there is a need.

Researchers have found that almost half of all people are likely to develop a mental illness in their lifetime. However 75% of these people will have their first experience with a mental health problem before the age of 25.

Given the amount of time each day both students and staff spend at school, it is a logical place to assist individuals develop behaviours that will support good mental health at school, in the broader community, and beyond.

The FP survey was refined and validated in an Australian university study (Murdoch University) involving 15 schools and more than 7,500 students. More information about the reliability and validity of the survey can be found in the assessment manual. The online survey enables objective assessment of the success of wellbeing interventions and can also be used to benchmark wellbeing against normative samples. It is suitable for secondary students (ages 11-18+) and staff of all ages.

Flourishing at School is more than just a measurement tool. It is a complete solution for wellbeing improvement for students and staff. Find out more about the features included in the table below.

Tailor school wellbeing contacts

Tailor school wellbeing contacts

Easily tailor specific people or places students can go to for assistance with their mental health. This appears in the student feedback “Wellbeing Snapshot” report and can be specific to certain cohorts. A handy addition for schools that want to ensure students know where to receive help when it is required.

Create staff/student accounts

Staff and student accounts can be created and updated manually. User accounts are tied to individual email addresses. Flourishing at School intelligently progresses students up a cohort each year. The ‘edit individual student’ feature can be used to update cohort, email address, house/form group and can also be used to reset passwords.

Bulk upload staff/students

Facilitate wellbeing surveys

Flourishing at School comes with all the features required to make survey facilitation a breeze. School admins can conduct surveys with all staff and/or students, or can target specific cohorts and form/house groups. The graphical interface gives a quick snapshot of survey completions, with reminder emails able to be sent out to tardy respondents at the click of a button. Also useful is the ability to download lists of users who are complete/incomplete so this can be shared with appropriate staff for following up individuals IRL (in real life).

Review survey results

At the conclusion of survey administration, school admins can review results at an individual level (students only), and group level. Student results can be filtered by cohort, gender and form/house group and can be easily viewed as a list on the graphical interface. Raw scale scores (1-7) and percentile scores (1-9) can be switched at the click of a button. Rows of data can be ordered by clicking on column headings. Individual students can be searched directly by name.

Review historical results

School admins can easily track individual student wellbeing overtime through the software interface. Simply click on a student’s name and select to review previous survey results as either raw scores, or in comparison to the total normative sample. Student facing (Wellbeing Snapshot) reports and school facing (Student Flourishing Profile) reports can be directly downloaded from this view as a PDF. A superb feature for pastoral care focused on leading mental health information.

Student/Staff portal

All users have their own portal (accessible through their email address) in which they can see and respond to open surveys, view and download previous survey results, and set and review wellbeing goals. This can be a simple way for individuals to track changes to wellbeing over time.

Set SMART wellbeing goals

Both staff and students have access to the wellbeing goal setting feature. Users are prompted to create a SMART goal (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goal), as putting goals into this framework can increase the probability of success. A lesson plan for staff to use in classroom settings is also provided to guide students through this important step to wellbeing improvement.

Wellbeing resource portal

Staff and students have access (when signed into their portal) to audience specific resources for self-development. These are under the main PERMA-H headings. Staff also have access to wellbeing video content and background research only available to Flourishing at School subscribers.

Massive wellbeing library

Flourishing at School has a large (and growing!) library of resources all linked to PERMA-H headings. Want to experience more joy, awe, and gratitude? Simply head to the positive emotions section in your portal and choose an activity that is right for you.

Easy to follow wellbeing activities

All wellbeing activities are written by experienced psychologists. Each activity includes a rationale (why it works) and steps to complete the exercise. Links to multimedia resources and downloadable worksheets are easily accessed as required.
